Another Month has gone by .... It's hours away from the 1st day of March. That means weeks away from the first day of Spring!!

I track my grocery spending and savings. Do you? I use a very easy ... already designed ... spreadsheet. Andrea at Mommy Snacks made her Grocery Savings Chart available to her readers and I have used it ever since! (Thanks Andrea!!) Sometimes the results give me a great sense of accomplishment while of course other times they're an eye opener that I need to try a little harder.

Last year I saved just under 53% on my grocery purchases. I think I can do better this year and have set a 2010 goal of 64% savings. My numbers are just that .... my numbers. Set a goal for yourself. Is it a dollar amount you want to be under each week or month? Is it a percentage? Set a goal that is realistic ... and challenge yourself to lower it a little more once you're meeting it consistently.

About me

I am a stay at home mom to boys ages 11, 9 and 6 and wife to my wonderful husband of 13 years. I love to save and earn every penny I can from lots of different sources. I've started this blog so that you can join me to save bits and earn pieces too!
